I've got all the other wires swapped out. Thanks to Brandon's post above

The only problem that I've come across is the number 14, SR5 pinout. Do I run a wire from the ignition switch, number 10, yellow wire to the 14 pinout? Do I need to run any other wires from the coil or anything else?

It just seems to easy.

TIA

Sorry you'll have to open the above referenced page to understand which pinouts I'm talking about

the only thing I can think of is the printed circut on the back has a break in it. I just looked at my non SR5 gauges that were removed when I did mine and the printed circuit has the screw and circuit line for the tach. Maybe try swapping the printed circuit from cluster to cluster.

I wish I wasn't on dial up so I could upload some pics to this thread. Unfortunately, it would take me a good part of the night. I'll probably get me another used gauge cluster than decipher what the problem is with this one.

But just to make things interesting...are you talking about taking the back circuitry off the back of the cluster? On the old non-SR5 gauge cluster set? I'm looking at it and don't understand what your talking about a "printed circuit". Maybe we're talking the same thing. The embedded circuitry?

Just for grins, I'm about to take that back circuitry off just to see whats behind it.

***EDIT***Ok, I think I now know that we were talking about the same thing. Unless I pull the SR5 back circuitry will I see if the (transistor?) is still connected. I'm figuring, like yourself, that it may have a crack somewhere in the soldering. Easy fix if that is indeed the problem. Won't know for sure until I get the cluster pulled again.

I had the same prob with the tach except I got smoke and a funny smell. I took the wire off the stud/nut and ran it into the tach slot on the plug # 14 if I remember, made my own little connecter for the plug,it just has to make contact. The capped off green plug under the hood did not work for me on my 83 I did the same thing KYOTA did in his pic. I doubt the cluster is bad I smoked mine and it still works great. Let us know if you get stuck, many have done the swap and are happy to help.

Thanks 8D3Toy, I might try hooking it up to the stock location. I'm getting juice from both wires under the hood and at the cluster. I'm thinking that the small transistor looking thing maybe broken or the connection in the soldering is bad. Won't know for sure until I pull it back out.
